The Beatles - P.S. I Love You

Recorded in: Abbey Road Studios, 4 September and 11 September, 1962 Writted By: Paul McCartney (Principal Composer) & John Lennon. Genre: Beat Producer: George Martin Paul McCartney: bass, lead vocal John Lennon: acoustic guitar (electrified Gibson J-160E), lead vocal George Harrison: lead guitar (electrified Gibson J-160E) Andy White: drums Ringo Starr: maracas RECORDING The version featured on the single and album was recorded in ten takes on 11 September 1962 at Abbey Road Studios, London. Session drummer Andy White gave the recording a lightweight cha cha[2] treatment, and consequently it misses the distinctive heavy drum beat that characterised most of their early music. Starr plays maracas. Martin was not physically present at the session, which was run by Ron Richards in his absence. Richards told the group that the song could not be the A-side of their single, because of the earlier song of the same title, so it was relegated to the B-side[3] (even though other titles have been used for multiple hit songs without legal difficulties). The Beatles (with Ringo Starr playing drums) also recorded this song at the BBC on 25 October 1962, 27 November 1962, and 17 June 1963 for subsequent broadcast on the BBC radio programmes Here We Go, Talent Spot, and Pop Go the Beatles, respectively.
